Where Art Meets Health: Cosmetic Dentistry Designed for Your Confident Smile
In the vibrant heart of Tampa, your smile is your signature. It’s the unspoken welcome to new friends at Hyde Park Village, the expression of joy during a sunset at Bayshore, and a key part of the confidence you carry into every room. If you find yourself holding back that smile because of chips, stains, or misalignment, you’re not just masking your teeth. You’re dimming a part of your spark!
At Historic Hyde Park Dentistry, Dr. Rebecca Benedict sees cosmetic dentistry differently. For us, it’s the harmonious blend of artistic enhancement and foundational health. We create stunning smiles that are built to last, because a truly beautiful smile is also a healthy one.
Dr. Benedict has over 10 years of experience providing cosmetic dental care in Tampa, FL. You can trust us with all your dental needs. Correct chips, stains, and alignment with personalized treatments that enhance both beauty and long-term oral wellness.

Your Personalized Path to a Confident Smile
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. During your consultation, Dr. Benedict will listen to your goals and recommend the most conservative, effective treatment plan for you. Our most sought-after services include:
- Porcelain Veneers: Consider these your smile’s “custom couture.” These handcrafted, thin porcelain shells are bonded to the front of your teeth, artfully concealing chips, deep stains, gaps, or misshapen teeth for a flawless, natural-looking transformation.
- Professional Teeth Whitening: Erase years of stains from coffee, wine, and daily life. We offer both powerful in-office whitening with Opalescence Boost for immediate brilliance and convenient take-home Opalescence GO kits for maintenance. Let us help you skip the guesswork of store-bought kits.

- Invisalign Clear Aligners: Straighten your smile discreetly. These nearly invisible, removable aligners gently correct crowding, gaps, and bite issues. Enjoy your favorite foods and maintain your hygiene with ease, all while working toward your ideal smile, often in about a year.
- Dental Bonding: A swift and artistic solution for minor chips, cracks, or small gaps. Using a tooth-colored composite resin, Dr. Benedict sculpts and polishes the material directly onto your tooth, restoring its form and function in a single visit.
The Smile Makeover: Your Comprehensive Transformation
For those dreaming of a complete renewal, a Smile Makeover is a thoughtfully sequenced journey, not just a list of procedures. Dr. Benedict approaches this as a collaborative project.
We begin with a comprehensive consultation to ensure your oral health is the strong foundation for beauty. This may involve treating any underlying issues like gum health or decay. Then, we design a phased plan, which may combine treatments like Invisalign to straighten, followed by whitening to brighten, and finished with veneers to perfect. We guide you through each step, ensuring your new smile is not only breathtaking but also functional and healthy for the long term.

More Than Beauty: The Lasting Health Benefits of a Confident Smile
The value of cosmetic dentistry extends far beyond the mirror. A smile you’re proud of naturally encourages better care, and many of our treatments provide direct structural benefits:
- Restored Function & Prevention: Fixing a chipped tooth with bonding or a veneer prevents further cracking and protects the inner tooth from decay and sensitivity.
- Improved Hygiene: Straightening misaligned teeth with Invisalign eliminates hard-to-clean crevices. This can make your daily brushing and flossing more effective at preventing cavities and gum disease.
- A Positive Cycle of Care: When you love your smile, you’re more motivated to maintain it. That commitment to excellent oral hygiene is the greatest predictor of long-term dental health.
Choosing cosmetic dentistry with Dr. Benedict is an investment in your overall well-being, where aesthetic confidence and physical health go hand-in-hand.
Common Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
How do I know which treatment is right for me?
The best way is through a personal consultation. Dr. Benedict will evaluate your teeth, listen to your goals, and explain all your options. We prioritize minimally invasive approaches that deliver your desired results while preserving your natural tooth structure.
Is cosmetic dentistry only about appearance?
Not at our practice. While aesthetics are a primary goal, Dr. Benedict always considers the underlying health and function of your teeth. Every treatment plan is designed to improve both how your smile looks and how it works for a lifetime.
How long do the results last?
This varies by treatment. Dental bonding can last several years, while porcelain veneers and Invisalign results can last for decades with proper care. We provide specific guidance and protective solutions, like custom night guards, to ensure the longevity of your investment.
